Can we implement a feature that allows us to set a variable that determines

How should it be possible to run arbitrary code on the server ???

I think the cross-site scripting concern is that the attachment may be a file (such as HTML) that includes commands (maybe javascript) that could interact with SQwebmail to do things that the user wouldn't like. It might be possible to delete all of a user's mail from javascript, for instance.

The code would execute in the user's browser, but the context of execution may give it access to the sqwebmail functions.
